blueAPACHE

As we get ready to welcome the big guy in the red suit, we want to take a moment to send a huge SHOUT OUT to everyone in our blueAPACHE community. Your support has made this year truly unforgettable! 2024 has been a year of innovation and growth, highlighted by the successful Go-Live of ServiceNow, our state-of-the-art service management platform. This achievement lays the foundation for market-leading innovation, supports our growth ambitions, and ensures a best-in-class customer experience. We’ve also enhanced our AI capabilities, from AI Voice-bots offering 24x7 multilingual support to AI-readiness assessments—all designed to elevate customer engagement. And while innovation has been at the heart of everything we do, we’ve also had some fun along the way. Whether it was Nerf gun battles at our sales kick-off, celebrating our 6th consecutive win as ARN - Channel News Mid-Market IT Service Provider of the Year, attending global tech conferences, getting inspired at roundtables, celebrating our 25,000th LinkedIn follower, it’s been a year of hard work, play, and 'kicking aaS.' We’ve welcomed new clients, partners, and talent to our team, and we couldn’t be more grateful. These milestones are not just ours—they are shared successes made possible through your trust and collaboration. Together, we’ve also supported our broader community - from the Brotherhood of St Laurence Sambell Oration to the Multicultural Australia Luminous Festival, RSPCA Victoria's Cupcake Day, and participating in a half marathon with VACCA - Victorian Aboriginal Child and Community Agency at Run Melbourne. It’s never just about the IT - it’s about being a true partner and championing the people and causes that matter most. That’s what makes our #teamblue community so special. As we take a moment to enjoy some downtime, we reflect on the incredible year we’ve shared and the amazing people and moments that made it all possible. Thank you to our staff, partners, clients, and industry peers for being part of #teamblue. We wish you and your loved ones a safe holiday season and a prosperous New Year! Here’s to working hard, playing hard, and continuing to 'kick aaS' with you all again in 2025—cheers to an amazing year ahead! #thatsawrap2024 https://lnkd.in/gSp83xUJ #teamblue #ThisisIT #weareblueAPACHE #emPOWER #kickaaS #happyholidays #cheers2025 Chris M.

We’ve arrived in Brisbane for the finale of our 3-city AI executive roundtable series. We were expecting sunny skies, but the tropical rain has other plans! Maybe it’s because some of our Melbourne team brought the wet weather with them? No matter the weather, we’re thrilled to have a full house of blueAPACHE partners joining us today at Supernormal. Facilitated by Pat Devlin from blueAPACHE, Stuart Long from ITArchitectAAS, and Thomas France from HP, today’s session will focus on how AI is driving real, measurable outcomes for businesses—cutting through the noise and getting to what truly matters, with insights and key learnings captured throughout our Melbourne and Sydney events. Thanks to all who joined us on this AI tour—it was great to connect in person, and we’re looking forward to many more engaging roundtables in 2025! #teamblue #ThisisIT #weareblueAPACHE #kickaaS #AI #Brisbane #HP #Microsoft #ITArchitectAAS Chris M.

We’re wrapping up our 2024 thought leadership events program with a series of executive roundtables on one of the year’s most talked-about topics—AI. Today, we're live from Guy Grossi's Florentino in Melbourne, hosting our "AI—What Can It Do for Me Right Now?" lunch, where Pat Devlin, Stuart Long, and Thomas France are leading a dynamic discussion with blueAPACHE partners on how AI is delivering tangible value today. In a landscape full of AI buzz, we’re focusing on practical applications that address key business challenges. With experts from HP, Microsoft, and IT Advisory Services, we’re exploring how AI is driving innovation and providing measurable benefits to organisations of all sizes. Thanks to everyone who joined us today! Next up, we’re bringing the conversation to Sydney this Thursday and Brisbane next Tuesday. Both events are at capacity, but if you’d like to join the waitlist, reach out to marketing@blueapache.com. We’re excited to keep the conversation going—before the bots take over and run the show!
